Obey chose the Pukas flagship store in San Sebastian to launch the collab. in Spain. Obey has collaborated with the legendary band Suicidal Tendencies. 2013 marks the 30th anniversary of their first record and they wanted to put something together that reflected the influence Suicidal has had on Shepard and OBEY.

To celebrate the launching, Bikini Gorge played live in front of the crowd at the very own shop, at the -1 level of the flagship Pukas Shop in the old part of the city. Beers and Jagermaister made the rest.

Obey worked with Mike Muir, the founder of Suicidal Tendencies as well as two of the original artists responsible for the art behind the band. Obey used Ric Clayton’s work from Possessed To Skate and the original drawings from skateboarder Lance Mountain, paying respect to the original work but putting an OBEY twist to them, showing the heritage and legacy that the band and artists have created.

What is Pukas.

“Pukas Surf is a family driven company based in the Basque Country and has built a reputation for making quality high-performance surfboards and custom bikinis. Mixing a global view and a local knowledge, the group has been able to feed their surf addiction since they first handshaped a surfboard in 1973.

Along the way came the surf shops, the surf contests, the friends and the parties, the surf Factory, the profesional Pukas surfers, the good and the bad, the surf schools and the stokedness; Surfing at its finest. Pukas is surf and always will be.”
